Chapter 610

Stelle: "Ah... a Suiyang befriended a Memetic entity from the Reverie?"

Stelle: "Why does that sound so weird?"

March 7th: "Uh... yeah, it is pretty weird."

General Jing Yuan: "Hahaha."

General Jing Yuan: "I never imagined that the Suiyang of my Luofu Xianzhou's Exalting Sanctum has already established ties all the way to Penacony!"

General Jing Yuan: "How truly fascinating!"

Miss Qingque: "It even likes studying subcultures — what a learned and trendy Suiyang."

The video continues.

【Oh, speaking of which, I should go find it.】

【Geng Da Gui has a fiery temper and never had much patience.】

【Good luck finding the real sugar-coated shell — I mean, bomb. Bye-bye!】

As it spoke, the Suiyang hurriedly drifted away.

Paimon: "Geng Da Gui?"

Paimon: "Is that the name it gave that Memetic entity?"

Paimon: "It really is..."

Stelle: "After all, it's just a Suiyang — expecting it to come up with a nice name is asking too much."

Stelle: "The name's not bad, very distinctive."

Stelle: "So is its Memetic friend really good at memes?"

March 7th: "No idea."

March 7th: "None of us know what its Memetic friend even looks like."

Furina: "A sharp-fanged, sharp-clawed Memetic."

Furina: "Could it be Sleepy?"

Hu Tao: "Hard to say, could it be Bubble Dog instead?"

Hu Tao: "Bubble Dog can also count as sharp-fanged and sharp-clawed."

Lumine: "Ahem, those aren't important."

Lumine: "What's important is the bomb!"

Lumine: "Some time has passed — has anyone found that bomb yet?"

Stelle: "I haven't gotten any messages on my phone, so that means no!"

Stelle: "But don't panic, I'm close by, I'll definitely get there right away!"

Stelle: "When the time comes I'll show you my bomb-defusing skills!"

March 7th: "You can defuse bombs?"

March 7th: "How come I didn't know that?"

Stelle: "Did you forget?"

Stelle: "Last time we watched a movie together, I learned it from there!"

Silver Wolf: "...."

March 7th: "Are you serious?"

The video continues.

After the Suiyang vanished,

Stelle hurried on without stopping.

This time she didn't run into anything strange on the way.

She successfully arrived near the pool at the bow of the ship.

And once she got there, from a good distance away,

she spotted Firefly's figure!

This made her heart skip a beat,

feeling as if something bad was about to happen.

Miss Qingque: "The person who least should have appeared here... has appeared..."

Lumine: "What was bound to come has come — can we really not escape it?!"

Firefly: "As I said, the script cannot be defied..."

Firefly: "I have to face it."

Stelle: "What damn script!"

Stelle: "I don't believe it!"

Stelle: "Wait for me to defuse the bomb, and everyone will definitely be safe!!"

Sparkle: "Ehehe, little gray-hair, stop being stubborn."

Sparkle: "You're worried, right? You're worked up, right?"

Sparkle: "But don't rush, the best show is yet to come!"

The video continues.

【It's... Firefly.】

Stelle ran over quickly,

arriving at Firefly's side.

【Twenty-eight minutes forty-six seconds... twenty-eight minutes forty-five seconds...】

After coming over to Firefly's side,

Stelle saw a doll in the middle of the pool counting down.

It was obvious—this was the real bomb doll!

「... Ah, you've come! 」

Firefly saw Stelle arrive,

and pulled her complicated gaze back from the bomb.

「Were you also called here by the Masked Fools? 」

Stelle looked at Firefly and asked hurriedly.

「Masked Fools—as expected, this is their doing. 」

「Since you've shown up here... I'll keep it brief. 」

「About half an hour ago, I received a message from an unknown sender, so I rushed right over. 」

As she spoke, Firefly's gaze drifted back to the bomb doll.

「Twenty-seven minutes, fifty-two seconds... twenty-seven minutes, fifty-one seconds... 」

The bomb doll kept silently counting down.

「The Land of Dreams has lost the Penacony's protection—if it explodes here... the consequences would be unthinkable. 」

「I've studied it for a long time, but this bomb's construction is very unusual, as if it's been locked by some unknown Path's power... 」

「Besides the maker, I'm afraid no one can stop it. 」

March 7th: 「What?! 」

March 7th: 「Even finding the bomb is useless?! 」

Stelle: 「Using the Path of Elation's power as a lock? 」

Stelle: 「Shouldn't it be like in the movies—red wire, blue wire, snip one and you're done? 」

Asta: 「Uh... what you described is just a movie prop, right? 」

Asta: 「Modern bombs aren't that primitive... 」

Furina: 「In other words, just finding the bomb isn't enough—we still have to catch Sparkle? 」

Ying: 「Oh my god, this is way too tricky! 」

Ying: 「With Sparkle's disguise skills and her bizarre abilities, catching her is so hard I can't even imagine it! 」

Sparkle: 「Who can catch me, the great Sparkle? 」

Sparkle: 「I'm a hide-and-seek master~」

Sparkle: 「As long as I don't want to be found, no one can find me~」

Paimon: 「Th-then what do we do! 」
